Greene Says Santos Has Spent Nearly 30 Days in Solitary, Renews Clemency Push

Santos is serving an 87-month sentence at FCI Fairton after convictions for wire fraud and identity theft.

Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene alleges Santos is confined alone around the clock in a windowless cell with showers limited to three times a week and no access to sunlight.
  • Greene says prison officials cite safety concerns and threats as the reason for his housing, and she shared a hand-drawn layout she says depicts his current cell.
  • She has asked President Donald Trump to commute Santos’s 87-month sentence and, in new posts, urged a full pardon.
  • Prison officials and the Bureau of Prisons have not confirmed the specific conditions described in Greene’s posts.
  • Santos, who began serving his term in July at FCI Fairton, previously said he requested protective custody and recently used social media to appeal for clemency.
